Modder Creates New Xbox 360 Laptop

Veteran modder Ben Heck has just finished the latest version of his Xbox 360 portable.


It's fair to say that Ben Heckendorn, known better simply as Ben Heck, is a very gifted modder. In fact, it's probably not far from the truth to say that he's a master at taking consoles and making them smaller than they were. This time round, he's revisited his Xbox 360 Laptop and made some improvements, stuffing the console and a monitor into a case about the same size as a laptop, albeit a pretty large one.

There's not a lot to say about this one, as it's all up there in the video. Enjoy!

I'd kill to have one of those. Hell it'd beat having to bubble wrap the shit out of my 360 whenever I'm travelling to toronto.

 

[Fraught]

I'd love to have one.
Though he could've made it moresilent, since he already tinkers with its insides to make it smaller.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

That is so awesome. I wish I was as talented as this guy! He must get quite a few bucks for making some of those and selling them off. Thats what probably keeps him making more and more neat little contraptions like these.

 

[FallenRainbows]

I want to buy one. Anyone know where...?

 

[USSR]

In a few years, if approved to market, I will so want to have one of these =o

 

[messy]

Can it still red ring? Just curious

 

[9NineBreaker9]

I'd totally go for one, but that thing is loooud... even so, it's entirely amazing and some great work

 

[MasterStratus]

Two words.
Fucking awesome.

Can it still red ring? Just curious

It can but it looks well ventilated so not likely.

Edit - Forgot to mention its awesome!

 

[PhoenixFlame]

I'm constantly amazed at the modding community and what they can do to things. I wish I had the talent. Nice work, Ben.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Two words.
Fucking awesome.

I think that pretty much covers it.
Although I don't doubt that if and when this hits the market, Microsoft will find a way to fuck with it somehow.

Well then he has truly improved on the original 360 an almost infinite amount

 

[Aunel]

if I was as good at moding as he was, I would have mad it even bigger, because that thing is not really useful for popping out in a airport because you NEED to play some gears2, and I would gladly sacrifice portability for screen size with something as nice as this.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I wonder how long it runs before it melts.

 

[Srkkl]

Wish I could buy one.

 

[Abedeus]

That's not modding.

That's something even God himself would call his own.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

That's not modding.

That's something even God himself would call his own.

Heck and Jesus argue.

Jesus: "I can walk on water."

Heck: "And I can make this." *shows 360 laptop*

Jesus: "....

You win."

 

[The Great JT]

How much?
